This is a rather misleading way of putting it. I can imagine someone
reading this and attempting to use a packet driver and an NDIS driver
simultaneously. :)  Actually, the packet driver interface sits on top
of DIS_PKT, which uses an NDIS driver to interface to the board. I
know of no programs which accomplish the reverse (running a program
that expects an NDIS driver over a packet driver).
